NFL Quarterback Jesse Palmer and his date Tara enjoyed a romantic overnight date at Fairmont Le Chateau Frontenac in ABC's hit series The Bachelor, which included their very own private ice castle where they sipped champagne and caribou, a local drink.

Pop the question 2,000 feet above ground at The Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn & Spa. As the hot air balloon rises, your panoramic view of California's finest wine country is put into a perspective that she won't soon forget. Your breathtaking tour is crowned with a Champagne brunch celebration held outdoors in your own private picnic area surrounded by lush vineyards and roses.

In Hawaii, fishermen yell hana pa'a! (hook up!) when they snag a fish or when a couple 'hooks up' and commits their love. At The Fairmont Orchid, couples can enjoy a 90-minute sunset sail off the breathtaking Kohala Coast. Capt. Casey sets out fishing poles to troll for a bite, then he yells out 'Hana pa'a!' as a fish strikes. You reel in the lure, which has captured a beautiful seashell, and head to the foredeck with your love for a little privacy. Confusion turns to joy when she plucks a note from inside the shell that asks the time-honored question: 'Will You Marry Me?'
